Microsoft and Yahoo in 10-year search partnership

摘要

Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc. have signed a 10-year deal, which will give Microsoft access to the Internet's sec-rnond-largest search engine audience. The extended reach will allow Microsoft to introduce its recently upgraded search engine, called Bing, to more consumers. Taking over the search responsibilities on Yahoo's highly trafficked site gives Microsoft a better chance to convert Web surfers who had been using Google by force of habit.
